As we head into autumn, the air will turn cooler and many families will venture outside to enjoy the wonderful fall festivals across Arkansas.

Every fall, thousands of visitors attend FestiVille, Jacksonville’s largest and most anticipated annual event.

The two-day city festival is free to the public and features activities for the whole family.
